Sakura Japanese Restaurant - East Memphis

"We had a very nice dinner. The food was good. It was super packed and I think they were understaffed so it took longer than expected. Our server did amazing condisedering the large parties that she was also catering to. The rolls were super massive. 4 rolls could easily feed three different people. I will be back and look forward to trying all the things. My girlfriend gave it two thumbs up. Will be back."

"I went with my family for a birthday event. As we was there, we was greeted by a waitress who didn’t tell her name. It seemed like she was rushing us to order our drinks and food. During our time there, everytime we asked a question, the waitress had an attitude (it was all our first time there). She also barely checked up on us during our time there. Our food came at the different delayed times as well. It was unpleasant and not hospitality place. As I searched the menu, the dinner box is what’s I choose. I didn’t like the dinner box because you can’t choose which sushi items etc you want in your box. It’s basically a soup and salad (which is made up of soup (watered down) and salad (store bought salad mix) with dressing. The food didn’t taste very well. Not only did that disappoint, but the chicken I ate the meal with was basically a grilled chicken. A drizzle of sauce with sesame seeds on top. There was no love from the meal. We was only allowed to have a certain amount of refills on drinks as well. I would not choose this place again due to service and food items presented. Such a bummer for a birthday dinner. I would not go again."

"Not a good experience at all. We ordered online and asked for no fish eggs, no mayonnaise on or in anything. We got everything covered in fish eggs. Even the vegetarian futomaki had fish eggs on the end pieces due to their lack of QC. They probably use the orange-dyed grossness to cover the poor quality of the fish. Even the Cali roll had barely any crabstick in it and that fake crab! Service at the restaurant was also poor; went to pick up and the staff just stared without even a hello until we went to the bar (no signs to tell you to go to the bar, no staff pointed it out or anything). Complete waste of money. Edit-restaurant did refund for the rolls we trashed (most of our order) which was appreciated."

"Went in for my boyfriend's birthday. The restaurant was clean and quiet. Our waitress was nice and helpful. I got the spicy tuna salad appetizer. It was good. We got 6 sushi rolls. Pretty good. Had to ask for no sesame seeds, and it was not a problem."

"I found Sakura around 10 years ago and to date no sushi compares. Before Sakura I tried damn near every place from midtown to Cordova. I moved in 2013 and I can't even buy sushi because the flavor combinations pale in comparison. Every time I come in town I go to Sakura at least once to get a Joyce roll and a Mother roll. DIVINE! If I lived within two and a half hours I'd absolutely drive to get it. Best sushi in Memphis, hands down!!"
